Hi friend. Put down the caffeine-infused chemical cocktail that is a pumpkin spice latte, and drink this delicious pumpkin spice smoothie instead. It will give you a good hit of all those yummy pumpkin spice flavors, plus healthy carbs, healthy fats, protein, and also some extra veggies snuck in there, so you feel satisfied and energized, not anxious, stressed, or fatigued from blood sugar and caffeine crashes.

Pumpkin is high in beta-carotene, which is a precursor to Vitamin A production in the body. Vitamin A is vital for brain function, healthy skin and your vision. It's also an anti-oxidant, so it can help protect you from cancer, and it's loaded with fiber, Vitamin C, and a whole bunch of other vitamins and minerals. Also, the carbs in pumpkin are the good kind - unless you're diabetic, they won't spike your blood sugar/insulin levels, and help your body produce the feel good chemical serotonin. Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable, and is great for your liver and digestion. And lastly, it's full of warming spices, great for your digestion this time of year. This is all a win if you’re feeling stressed out, tired, anxious, or depressed, or just looking for more ways to eat healthy on the go.

Ingredients

1 C coconut milk – I use Califia Farms, but you can also use the full-fat canned kind and just thin it with a little water
